A FAD: THE PEARL BIKER BOOT

Just thought I'd spill my thoughts into a short post today. As the A/W 17 micro trends and fads are starting to become very clear on social media, I've noticed a few that I think will die a sudden death as soon as we hit Spring. One of these is the pearl biker boot. Filtered down from the catwalk it's been replicated by most high street brands and it's all over my Instagram feed. Zara's seem to be a popular version that come in real leather for the price tag of under £90 but at the budget end of the high street you can pick some up from Boohoo for only £35. This pair definitely have the price tag of a fad item.

It's not that I dislike the trend but I won't be investing in some winter boots that will soon fade out of sight because of the little shiny plastic studs they're adorned with. Sorry Instagram.
